Well, although some netizens think this one is not as classic as the older version, I think it's okay. I found that this drama is quite interesting though I wasn't concentrated to watch, just watching the drama while I was writing or studying. Still, not a bad drama.
Those netizens are saying that poor storyline, poor dialogs, and poor acting. Well, I can admit that the older version is kinda classic, but it's like 20 years old, even 1-3 years older than me. How can it be accepted easily nowadays for those new teenagers or new babies? We got to make a new version for the next generation.
And the team makes a quite breakthrough in this new version. I love how the director tell a story. Sometimes, I even laugh out loud because some of their dialogs. That's the exact and basic reasons why we are watching TV. We are not looking for a exact moving version of a book. Instead, we are looking forward to something that is amusing, entertaining, and interesting from time to time. If we want to get a whole picture, we can go to read the book, why stuck on a drama and blaming about it? Besides, everyone has his or her own opinion on everything. Same as Journey to The West. This version is just a mixture of the director's, writer's, and majority part's understanding of this book.
I really see something new from this new version.
Old one is just walking, evils appear, fight the evils, and walking again. Nothing more, just a dry moving version of a story. However, the new one, has complaints, inside activities, and my favorite part, their thinking after they fight the evils. That should be the purpose of this book, telling people something, well, at least something.
By the way, the cast costumes are great. The older version definitely can't compare with that! Those girls, ladies, and young female evils are way more beautiful than those in the old version. Really, I think just for those costumes, I will choose to watch the new one instead of the old one.
I was told that the director and producer JiZhong Zhang will make another version of that drama next year. Actually, I am looking forward to it. I kinda like how he do the drama no matter how much other netizens hate him. At least, he can do the storyline close to the book instead of adding too much of writer's minds.
And about the book Journey to The West, I was read a few post days ago. I saw some people comment that the book is not classic at all. Cause those evils will get a good result if they have a stronger master or solid background, but for those poor little evils, their results are just die into the dust. Then some one reply to this comment: That's the purpose of the author writing this book, you really look through and understood this book. Well, I agree with both of them, too. Those evils really have different results based on their background . What a world, even for those god and demons!
